I am wondering if along with a parts swap section and an emergency help section, if we might want to look into a section that provides options for barter or work trade.

For example, I have polished my 9 and learned alot doing it. I was told it would be about $3500 to $5000 to have it done in Mexico. So, if I want to trade out my ability to polish a bus, not to mention the tools and such, I would like to get someone with cabinet making skills or AC installation skills to work a trade.

This could also apply to electrical, painting, mechanical..........

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, a good Reisling in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: WOO HOO, what a ride

I know that Fred suggested $300.00 but I think that must have been for a door or two. I cannot imagine a whole bus for that money. I spent more in supplies!!! I kept pretty good records and it took me about 60 hours to complete the job. Not including polishing the mirrors.

The bigger picture is to see how many folks with certain skills would be willing to have trade work done. I know there are a lot of talented people in this group.

I whole heartedly agree with "becareful with bartering" LABOR. It's not quite so tangible as a part for a part.There's always the chance that one of two won't be happy with the barter arrangement ... "after the fact."
